Only python 3.8 and 3.9 are updated.

Python 3.12 will be in the near future introduced and we will skip 3.10 
and 3.11.

The main packages include postinstall script that
use "alternatives" to define for

   /usr/bin/python

   /usr/bin/python3
   /usr/bin/idle3
   /usr/bin/pydoc3

a default to the highest package available.

$ alternatives --display python
   python - status is auto.
  link currently points to /usr/bin/python3.9
/usr/bin/python3.8 - priority 38
/usr/bin/python3.9 - priority 39
Current `best' version is /usr/bin/python3.9.

Rationale:
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/
In other systems as Debian
/usr/bin/python is discouraged.

DESCRIPTION
Python is a programming language that lets you work quickly
and integrate systems more effectively.
Python is powerful... and fast; plays well with others;
runs everywhere; is friendly & easy to learn; is Open.
